He was just a poor "sportsman" trying to feed his family. And if them %&?*# cops would be out looking for real criminals, he would not have been placed in cuffs and hauled off. If I remember correctly, he didn't bother with the trouble of getting a fishing license either. Quality DNA that one.

A buddy was fishing our beloved Lower TouVelle this weekend, and saw a group of people chasing salmon in to the shallows and then tailing/ taking them. A second time he was coming out alone from LTV and a group of five others were heading out with gear, trebels and worm cans to obviously do no good. When he called them on it, they turned and kept walking, and told him to have a nice day... by the time he was heading over the bridge they were "fishing" the shallows by the slot there. He went to the ranger, who called OSP. He also said they're specifically looking for a guy in a red truck.

We CAN stop this on our river, guys.

Be sure to program this in to your cell, the number goes directly to an OSP dispatch office: ODFW "Turn in Poachers" (T.I.P.) Line: 800-452-7888
